Re: How Do You "Turn Off" Wireless Synchronization...

Does anyone know how to turn off wireless sync remotely from a computer? I am working with a friend's BlackBerry Bold (one of the recent ones, not sure exactly, 3.2 MP camera), that has a cracked screen and am trying to recover the contacts.

Ultimately, I am trying to export the contacts to a .csv file. It sounds like to do this, I need to turn off wireless sync, and then use the ASCII exporter option from within the Sychronization workflow.

Can anyone help? Friend was in a car accident and the phone is crushed, but still connecting to a computer.

Hi Am using BB9700 and have upgraded to OS 6 but when trying to turn off the wireless Sync am not able to do the same. I have followed all the instructions on this post but still unable to find a solution. Kindly suggest how the same can be done.

Re: How Do You "Turn Off" Wireless Synchronization...

Sorry for the delay , whenever am trying to follow the instructions am unable to find Synchronization option in advanced options in the first place. As per another instructions when i try login to the E- Mail Set up it there is no option to turn off the Wirless Synchronization in OS 6 .

Re: How Do You "Turn Off" Wireless Synchronization...

Hi,I am having the exact same problem with my BB bold 9700! I was searching for a solution to turn off wireless synchronization and came across your thread! I'm hoping there is some simple solution as I cannot sync at all to my PC due to my inability to turn wireless syncing off! Very frustrating cause if I had known I would have such a problem, I would not have upgraded.
